Earning a Spot
Coming to work in the United States is a thrilling prospect, but our program can only support a limited number of therapists. To qualify, you must satisfy a handful of prerequisites.
-
Education Requirement
First and foremost, you must possess a transitional DPT or a Master’s degree in Physical or Occupational Therapy to satisfy the educational requirement to practice in the U.S.
-
Culture Match
Because of our desire to foster an environment of positivity and enthusiasm, the quality of your character is just as important to us as the quality of your service. Specifically, InHome seeks individuals with a strong work ethic, a pleasant personality, and a passion for excellent healthcare that matches our own.
-
Apply for an Interview
If you match our background criteria, then you may apply for a virtual interview with an InHome Therapy representative. Should your application pass our internal review, we will contact you to schedule an interview. Internet calls can be stressful, but just be yourself; making it this far means you’ve piqued our interest!
-
Gaining Our Sponsorship
After your interview, we will initiate the final round of our selection process. If you’re chosen for our sponsorship, we’ll waste no time in beginning your immigration to the United States.
Starting the Immigration Process
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) supervises the lawful immigration to the U.S., and we must abide by their rules to receive you into our community.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
- The TOEFL is required for all practicing therapists educated outside the U.S.

Credentialing and Board Exam
- We will assist you with the credentialing process:
- Physical Therapists = The Foreign Credentialing Commission of Physical Therapy (FCCPT)
- Occupational Therapists = The National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT)
- We will register you for online courses taught by experienced instructors to prepare you for your board exam.
- Before the board exam, we will ensure you receive your Authorization to Test (ATT), which will allow you to take the exam.
- We will schedule and pay for this exam, as well.
Green Card

Practicing Your Profession
Once you (as well as your dependents, if applicable) have settled into your deployment location, your career as a therapist in the U.S. will begin in earnest. At this exciting stage, you will become a recipient of our comprehensive compensation package that includes a complimentary sign-on bonus, a competitive salary, paid time off, a retirement plan, and health benefits.
